SUMMARY:Citizens United To Protect The Maurice River - Book Circle: The Genus of Birds / 4-23-26
DESCRIPTION:Don't miss this year's annual Book Circle\, a gathering and discussion of the engaging and eye-opening book The Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman. In this fascinating exploration of avian intelligence\, Ackerman draws on cutting edge scientific research and field observations to reveal that birds are far more intelligent than people once believed. Many species demonstrate remarkable abilities such as problem solving\, tool use\, memory\, and complex social behaviors\, challenging long-held assumptions about what animals with small brains are capable of achieving.\n\n \n\nDespite their size\, bird brains are highly specialized and efficient\, allowing many species to perform cognitive tasks that rival those of mammals and even primates. Ackerman illustrates how birds have developed sophisticated intelligence along their own unique evolutionary path\, reshaping how we understand the avian world. Led by Suzy Merighi and Jane Galetto\, this year's discussion will explore the science behind bird cognition and what these discoveries mean for how we view and value the natural world around us.\n\n\n\nBe sure to bring a copy of your book\, a notebook\, a pen or pencil\, and any notes or quotes from The Genius of Birds that you would like to discuss with the group.
